With the
talk of springs the view out of the back window in the rear view mirror is
limited on my 82 Imperial. It
there a standard height of the car in the back? Height of the back bumper from the ground, could it be a problem
with springs or shocks? Dads 82 Lawrence R Noska lnoska@xxxxxxxxxxxx Hauser, ID 83854 -----Original
Message----- Hello, In reply to your message, there is a
company here in Portland Oregon......BENZ SPRING..... that I have used for a
new set of springs on my '65 4x4 Panel Truck. they do "top notch"
work for an affordable price and I was VERY pleased with the job they did on my
truck. I also know that they have a wealth of old spec drawings for all kinds
of old cars and trucks. I'm not sure of what they might have for
Imperial's but I would be willing to bet that they would have the spec's, as
they cater to the old car market here in Portland and are more than happy to
accomodate the strange and unusual. They've been around since 1922. I will be contacting them in the coming
months for rear springs for my '58, and I will let the list know of my
findings, but I just thought I would pass this along to you now, as you are
looking for a resource now. BENZ SPRING CO. 1-800-452-0509......or in
Oregon.....503-224-4865 ...................CHEERS, Michael Howlett >-----Original Message----- >From:
